[live in about ten minutes] NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will spend the next several months in low Earth orbit on NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission. While there, they will conduct various science experiments and technology demonstrations to benefit life on Earth and in orbit, furthering our journey back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond.

Counting down, you'll probably miss the beginning, but I've got this feed open in the Roku.

I don’t know how to post photos here, but I just looked at a picture of the crew and they look like a really fun, Great bunch of people. I wish them the best of luck.

Nice ride for all four.

My pleasure. At my age, I'd have to take spare urine bags for the trip, but would love to try the microgravity at this point.

Clearly Jack Hathaway was personally selected by Jared Isaacman. /rimshot

Most bang for the buck.

You have quite the ear for comedy. 🤣

Report on the likely next space Station: Starlab built at NASA can only be launched by Starship Cargo rocket, its so massive; although a slightly smaller version could be launch by Blue Origin. The lab has passed its Preliminary Design Review and is not in the process of its Critical Design Review. NASA’s astronauts are being trained on it.

The Starlab belongs to Voyager Technologies, along with Airbus and Mitsubishi. Its 26X26 feet, consisting of 3 levels with a central passage hole. Its primary mission will be medicines, materials, and 3D organ printing: all things that can only be made in low gravity.

3D organ printing when perfected means you cells can be printed to replace a failing organ; no need to wait in line for an organ transplant that may not happen before your organ fails.

There are other companies working on the next space station, but how far along they are, is not known. If the West does not replace ISS before its is scheduled to be de-orbited, only the very active Chinese space station will remain in orbit.

—
Also late yesterday, NASA quietly replaced the Crawler’s leaky hydrogen seals and partially filled the hydrogen tank to see if the seals would hold. They did. So we can expect a launch around March 3.
